Every Woman Knows Them

The human body is much like good clock or
watch in it's movements; if one goes too slow or
too fast, SO follow all the others, and bad time
snlts; if one organ or set of organs works imper
fectly, perversion of functional effort of all the
organs is sure to follow. Hence it is that the
numerous ailments which make woman'S life mis-
cradle are the direct issue Of abnormal action of
the uterine system. For all that numerous class
of symptoms-and every woman knows them
there is one Unfailing remedy, DIR. Pierces ''Fav-
orite Prescription, . the favorte of the sex.

the torpedo was liable to explode at any

Speaking in Congress.

The most nervous moment for a new MEM
ber OF congress is just before he is to make
speech. Many of the old members, even, are
seized with stage fright" The idea that
the official reporters have ears for the whole
country gives every speaker an uncomfort-
ably large audience. Each man has his pecul-
lar way of going about it. You can't tell
when Randall or Morrison are going to speak
until they are pretty well on toward their re-
marks. Morrison always stands for a mo
ment half way down the second aisle on the
Democratic side, with hands on the desks on
either side. Then he speaks with delib-
Grafton, always taking two or three sters
toward the speaker when much in ear
nest He is always soon through. Randall
always speaks from behind his own desk, and
makes no preliminary movement Hewitt is
probably the only other who speaks entirely
without warming He goes off like powder :
all in an instant Some members load their
desks for speech some load themselves.
Some times three or four desks give warning
of speeches. They are piled up with Con-
gressional Records, revised statutes, official
reports, newspapey clippings, and on top Of
all huge rolls of manuscript, These are
always threatening.
Some members Of experience put all this
material inside their desks and look very in
nocent, as if they were not going to say much
Then they take out a little at time There
is great difference in the bearing of man
| when he is loaded with a speech. Butter
worth, of Ohio, is one of those who hmbers
up to a speech. For afew moments before he
begins he seems 10 be engaged in unlacing
himself and limbering his joints asan athlete
who is about to make wonderful leap. He
crouches low in his desk and waits his chance.
| His face brightens up, the part gets out of his
hair, and one lock fails down on his forehead.
| He stretches out his arms and legs, works his
shoulders to see that every !oint is free and
when he gets up to speak he is like willow.
Some members walk two or three times
past the speakers desk before they try tS
catch his eye. Some stand up in their places
clear their throats several times, pull up theil
sleeves, button their cuffs, feel their tie, oper
and shut their desks two or three times, and
then walk down the aisle a little way and
say, "Mr Speaker Some sit and rub theil
hands. Others do nothing in particular, but
you can tell thoy are going TO speak by this
